A 23-year-old Syrian-born man, Ibrahim Daly, has been sentenced to five years in prison for attempting to rape a stranger in Glasgow Green. The incident took place late at night on 6 May 2024 after Daly met the woman in Glasgow city centre and accompanied her to the park.
During the attack, Daly struggled with the victim and tried to force himself on her before she managed to fight him off. He was later identified on CCTV fleeing the scene.
The violent attack was condemned at the High Court in Glasgow, where Daly was convicted. The judge described the assault as violent and sustained, noting that the victim had trusted Daly, a complete stranger, with her safety.
Police relied on CCTV footage showing Daly’s flight from the scene shortly after the attack, which was crucial in securing the conviction for attempted rape.
Alongside the prison sentence, a non-harassment order was imposed on Daly. Authorities are also considering deportation to Syria once he has served his term.
